"The message from [[Charlie Kirk]] and TPUSA is loud and clear: if you are a young, thoughtful, intellectual curious Right Winger, you are not welcome in their organization. TPUSA exists solely to enrich its donors, and they’ll cleave off anybody who poses a threat to the cash flow."

"If they were actually anything close to [[KKK]] members, they wouldn’t even want to be in a picture with the 4 minorities in the photo. Guilt by association is a [[leftist]] tactic that beta-conservatives have adopted."

===Groyper Wars===
In the fall of 2019, Charlie Kirk launched a "Culture War" speaking tour with Turning Point USA. As a retaliation for the firing of St. Clair, as well as an incident at the 2019 Politicon convention where Fuentes was prohibited by security from entering events featuring Kirk, Fuentes began a social media campaign urging his followers to go to the events and ask [[trolling|troll]] questions regarding Kirk and TPUSA's liberal stances on immigration, Israel, and [[Homosexual "rights"]] during the Q&A sections. These events became known as the "Groyper Wars".
At one event hosted by Ohio State University on October 29, eleven out of fourteen questions asked were from Groypers. They asked questions like, "Can you prove that our white European ideals will be maintained if the country is no longer made up of white European descendants?" and "How does anal sex help us win the culture war?", the latter referring to Rob Smith, the other speaker at the event and a major contributor to TPUSA, who is a self-proclaimed "[[gay conservative]]".
Another Turning Point USA event targeted was a promo event for [[Donald Trump Jr.]]'s book, ''Triggered'', featuring himself, Kirk, and his wife Kimberly Guilfoyle at the University of California, Los Angeles, in November of 2019. Anticipating further Groyper questions, it was announced that the originally planned Q&A portion was cancelled, which sparked heckling and boos from the mostly pro-Trump audience. The disruptions eventually forced them to cut the event short and leave after 30 minutes, when it was originally scheduled to last for two hours.<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/pro-trump-conservatives-are-getting-trolled-real-life-far-right-n1080986</ref>
